    Good luck today everyone!

    Here are my goals for today:

    Breakfast -- one mango (107 cal) with 2 tbsp almonds (108 cal)
    Snack 1 -- one cup of grapes (62 cal) with 1/8 cup cashews (90 cal)
    Lunch -- 2.25 oz of deli turkey (90 cal) with 1/2 cup chickpeas (143 cal)
    Snack 2 -- 1/2 cup chickpeas (143 cal)
    Dinner -- 5.5 oz chicken breast with one cup green beans (44 cal)
    Snack 3 -- 100 cal microwave popcorn

    I am going to do Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD and walk for 3 miles. NO alcohol for me (I eat uncontrollably when I start drinking). I am not counting my exercise calories today b/c I over-indulged yesterday. Sigh.

    Have a fabulous Saturday!

    Hi Everyone!
    I just had half of a flax seed bagel w/ some sugar free jam (175 cal). I don't think i'll get in my normal bike exercise because i'm about to head over to my boyfriends for the day, but i'll be sure to walk there which will be about a 30 min. walk. I'm sure we'll go out to dinner but I'll try and do sushi or a good salad.

    Anyways, good luck today everyone!!
    :happy:

    hey everyone not a bad saturday fiber one bar for break fast 150 cal caffee 90 cal i worked 10-3 cleaning villas burned 400 cals then came home had a lite snack mini bagel w/ nutella and decided to go for a bike ride to the grocery store i took a bottle of water with me. but i think i was dehydrated or hadnt eaten enough because i got about a 1/2 mile away from home on the way back and started to black out and got sick :sick: i have never had this happen before maybe i over did it in the heat along with the stress i was trying to work off i dont know but it scared me to death and had to call my hubby to come get me. :embarassed: i swallowed another bottle of water when i got in the house and laid down for 15 mins and i seem to be ok now. but that was scary :cry:

    well i worked out alot today so i had a goood dinner:
    big salad w/some bleu cheese crumbles and olive oil 180cal
    linguine w/ white clam sauce 400cal
    1 slice garlic bread 200cal

    and for snack 1/2 of a cinnamon roll (ive been craving it bad) i think thats why i pushed myself to hard on the bike ride i had those buns in the basket mmmmmm...... :embarassed:

    hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. im hitting the beach in the morning for a run i havent done a run on the beach in months Damn Tourons :tongue:

    I am not typing in all my food b/c it was alot. I started my day off with a 32.3 mile bike ride which burned almost 1400 calories according to my HRM. I just finished the day with a 4 mile walk which burned 375. So I had alot of calories to eat. I am still shy of the goal, and am so tired that I don't know that I will consume them...plus I had my son's bday party the night before and I didn't eat so good there.

    hey everyone hope you are having a good weekend. another day of big cleaning for me today. i went through my house like a tazmanian devil but a clean one haha. my kids are now mad at me because i threw alot of their crap away, hey they cant take care of it, IT GONE! so 3 hours of heavy cleaning and im finally sitting down to eat something a toasted tomato sandwhich with fat free miracle whip and another cup of coffee

    im making a turkey breast for dinner tonight and having the in-laws over for dinner so the rest of my day is going to be swimming for a while with the kids and preparing dinner maybe i will get my son out to ride his bike if we have time. we just took the training wheels off and he is scared to ride it. but he will be 6 in two weeks. so i told him he can go riding with me and he will enjoy it more because he can go faster the training wheels wont be holding him back so we will see.

    have a great day ya'all!!!!

    Hi Everyone!
    Yesterday I did pretty well. However, I did go to a movie and had a soda & licorice, but it's the only time that i ever drink soda, so that's good! Today is a huge street festival in my community so i'll try and avoid temptation, but I think I will get a bubble tea to spoil myself a bit hehe.

    Now, I upped my calories for 1,200 to 1,400. I did some research on this and it showed that 1,200 was just too little for me, especially now that i'm more active and approaching my goal faster. Today will be day 1 on the 1,400.

    Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!!

    Well, this weekend has gone pretty well for me too! Last night my husband was pressing for take-out but I managed to resist and made some great grilled chicken pita sandwiches and saved the nutritional day!

    This morning I've done some yoga and some belly dancing work out and we're planning on a bike ride today so I'm trying to make sure I keep the calories coming in through the day. I really don't like ending a day with a big deficit because I don't want the deficit and I don't want to eat lots close to bed time! I found this awesome organic salsa with VERY LITTLE sodium so I bought a jar of that just for me (of course it was really expensive) since I don't use it with chips, just as a garnish. I am going to have a hard boiled egg with some of that on it now. YUM!

    We're getting close to check-in day, folks!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Hey there friends! Sorry I didn't post earlier today. I was pretty busy. BUT...I did good! No workout today, but I stayed within calories! Last night I did end up having some drinks: 2 pineapple upsidedown cake shots (86 calories each) and 1 Blue UV Vodka Lemonade (280 calories) but still stayed within my calories for the day. Today I did good food-wise. Here was the menu:

    Breakfast:
    1 blueberry bagel with 2 tbsp. fat free strawberry cream cheese, 8 oz. diet cran-grape juice, 1 med. banana, 1 multivitamin.

    AM snack:
    2 c. coffee with 2 tbsp. fat free vanilla caramel creamer, 1 soft baked TLC blackberry graham bar

    Lunch:
    1 carb balance whole wheat fajita with 1 tbsp. fat free cream cheese, 3 slices turkey lunch meat and fresh spinach, 14 baby carrots, 1 diet coke.

    Afternoon snack:
    1 med. apple

    Dinner:
    Homemade Chicken tenders with 2 tbsp. ketchup, 1 Red baked potato with 3 sprays I can't believe it's not butter spray, 1 c. green beans.

    PM Snack:
    1/2 c. Raspberry sherbet and 4 tbsp. Cool whip Free.

    SO...within calories and feeling great! Can't wait to weigh in on Tuesday!!!!!

    Good night friends! I'll check back tomorrow!!!

    shouldnt we start week 2 now?

    Im back from a caloric explosion of a vacation, but it was fun camping (lots of beer)
    but I managed to watch what I ate for the most part, I havent weighed myself yet, so I dont know if I went back up. I tend to weigh in every 1.5-2 weeks anyway.
    Today I had my usual english muffin with pb for breakfast with a trail mix bar,
    I have some left over macaroni for lunch
    for dinner we are having some pork chops (very lean) with mixed veggies.
    exercise today is arms

    Curls, rows etc for 35 min and treadmill/jogging for 35 min.

    Good morning everyone! I'm excited to check in tomorrow :happy:

    My mission for today is to make sure I get enough cals in. I tried yesterday but ended up having a few hundred cals after 9pm because I had 600 left to eat :noway:

    I teach stroller fitness today so I know I'll burn a lot.

    So, I have to share this tip with everyone!! Yesterday at the store I picked up a copy of Clean Eating Magazine. I read about it in Oxygen Magazine (LOVE IT!) and wanted to check it out. I must say, it is a MUST HAVE for anyone on this path. FULL of fabulous recipes with full nutritional break downs and exactly the kind of thing we all want. Check out cleaneatingmag.com :happy:

    All you do is click the little button under the message that says "quote" and then it will have it in the text box. Try it if you want.

    FYI...it took me FOREVER to figure it out too b/c I was embarrased to ask.:blushing:

    Hi Everyone!

    Man, I was badddd last night, it's rare for me though. I went out for Karaoke with my boyfriend & had dinner & drinks, plus his sweet tooth required a brownie to share...silly guy...i've found since I started seriously exercising a week ago and started eating all those exercise calories that I'm starving all the time!! I don't know if it's just that i'm getting used to eating that many calories or what....

    Anyways...I'm very excited, well, more curious to see what the scale shall say tomorrow!! EEEEKKK!! So how about first person to post tomorrow starts off "Twenty Somethings Week 2" and we'll do the check in then!

    Hello everyone. Sorry I have not checked in every day. I will try to do better next week. I had a pretty good week. I need to make sure to get my cardio done everyday this week. I took it easy because I strained both my calves during the Relay for Life Event.
